Yesterday Paisley, Sabastian, and I packed up our backpacks and headed out on bikes in search of the public beach we were told about. We didn't ask where it was considering there is only 3 miles of land to the north of our marina we were sure to be able to find it or not in our case. Miss Paisley had the lead on bikes followed by Sabastian and then me. We were in search of a spot to play in the sand and take pictures. As we continued down the road we kept seeing signs saying private property keep out everywhere. We finally found one gentleman(Joe) out on his golf cart and inquired as to where the public beach was. He commented that it is all private property but said that we could use the beach in front of his house. I thought it was very nice and kind for Joe to share his private beach with us. The kids and I had fun climbing on the rocks and Jetties. The kids wanted to make a sandcastle and dig to their hearts content but, did not want to leave big holes in Joe's beach which I thought was very thoughtful of them. After playing for a while we packed up in search of another spot to play in and dig but we did not find one. I think I need to plan a trip to Buckroe Beach or the ocean front so the kids can dig to their hearts content. The Neptune Festival starts tomorrow and the big sandcastle sculpting contest is this weekend. Maybe we can fit it in somehow.
